Bush Takes His Turn on ‘Oprah’
CHICAGO(AP) — George W. Bush
told Oprah and her millions o f female
viewers he gave up drinking because
alcohol “was beginning to compete for
my affections.” And when asked about
his “favorite dream,” he grinned and
raised his right hand, as if taking the
presidential oath.
But he was careful about baring
too m uch on W infrey’s TV show
T uesday.
T he talk show diva noted that he
had said in his G O P acceptance
speech that he needed forgiveness.
W hen did he need it? she w anted to
know.
“ Right now ," he said, to laughter.
“ I ’m looking for specifics," she
persisted.
“ I know you are,” he said, “but I’m
running for president.”
T hat brought more laughter and
applause from W infrey's studio au
dience as she taped her popular syn
dicated show.
Both Republican Bush and Demo
crat A1 G ore — w ho answ ered ques
tions from the sam e chair a week
ea rlier— are actively courting unde
cided w om en voters. A nd women
view ers are w hat W infrey has.
A lternately serious and playful.
Bush fielded questions for an h o u r—
on his parents, his relig io n , his
dream s, his likes and dislikes.
G o re ’s p erfo rm an ce had been
w idely praised and som e Republi
cans had feared that W infrey, a con
tributor to D em ocratic cam paigns,
m ight be a difficult host.
But they got along sm oothly. And
Bush gave W infrey som ething she
h ad n ’t received from G ore: a kiss on
the cheek. “ No kiss?” she had said to
G ore, pretending to be hurt.
Bush, 54, turned serious when re
counting his decision to give up drink
ing at age 40 after a binge with friends
in C olorado Springs, Colo.
A lthough he has told the story
before. Bush gave extra em phasis
to the im pact his drinking had had
on his w ife Laura and their twin
daughters, now 18.
